Keep Etsy and Informer updated automatically.
Today you sign in to the seller account, look at what sold and carry it over by hand. What you already processed you track somewhere else. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Etsy lands in Informer by itself, in the shape Informer expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

What each side expects
Etsy and Informer do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
Etsy
A marketplace supplies orders with their own order number and their own lines, plus returns and cancellations that arrive separately.
Informer
An accounting package wants to know, per line, which ledger account and VAT rate apply, and wants the customer on file as a relation.

Common questions
Can you connect Etsy to Informer?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Etsy and Informer, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Which VAT rate do my sales get in Informer?
The rate is set per line: 21%, 9% or 0%. Sales to Belgium and other EU countries get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.
Are commission and fees booked separately in Informer?
Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in Informer, rather than in one lump sum, so your margin stays readable.
Do I still have to log into Etsy once the connector runs?
No. Once it runs, everything you now look up in the Etsy seller account arrives in Informer by itself. You only open Etsy when you want to check something yourself.
What does connecting Etsy and Informer cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does Etsy sync with Informer?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
What happens to a return or refund in Informer?
A return becomes a credit invoice in Informer for the amount actually refunded, not for the whole order, so nothing needs correcting afterwards.
Does the connector also pick up Etsy returns and cancellations?
Yes. Besides new orders, Schakel also sees returns and cancellations on Etsy, so Informer does not lag behind what actually sold.
